France Canada Research Fund: New Research Collaboration Program
The New Research Collaboration Program funds new collaborations between French and Canadian teams in all fields of research. The grant is awarded to two-year projects in amounts ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 CAD to support the mobility of researchers and their students between the two countries. All institutions in France are eligible as partners.
The France Canada Research Fund (FCRF) is a major instrument of Franco-Canadian scientific cooperation, created in 2000 through an agreement between the French Embassy in Canada and a consortium of Canadian universities. It is currently made up of 23 member universities and supports 15 new projects each year under the New Research Collaboration Program, which promotes interdisciplinary collaborations and the training of young researchers.
